DALE,
David
It is with the deepest sorrow and grief that we must announce
the passing on Friday, December 7, 2007 of our incredible and
wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
His dearest devoted and beloved wife and best friend, Mary, was
by his side, as always. Everyone who knew them admired their
truly remarkable and precious love. They had been in love, devoted
and inseparable since childhood. A rare, exceptional and remarkable
love, one to be greatly admired and emulated by all. David was
the most adored and treasured father, friend, mentor and first
love to daughters Betsy
FRUITMAN and Lynda
WINE, and a most admired
and loved father-in-law and friend to Lou
FRUITMAN and Fred
WINE.
Exceptionally caring and loving grandfather of Pamela and Howie
GOULD,
Lisa and Daniel
BELZOWSKI, Marla and Ronald
STRUMINGER,
Paul and Risa

Robyn and Brian
WILKS, and Bryan and Stephanie
WINE. He will be cherished and lovingly remembered as their beloved
"Puppy" to all the wonderful "Little People" in his life: Amanda
and Joshua
BELZOWSKI,

GOULD, Jarod and Phoebe
STRUMINGER,
Matthew,Jeremy and Marlee
WILKS, Chelsea and Holden

David was a gentleman and gentle man,
filled with love, compassion and integrity. He touched everyone
in his life with his kindness. He was admired and loved by all
who knew him as an exceptional husband, loving father, grandfather
and great-grandfather. He was a dedicated and devoted family
man. We loved him so very much and we were so proud of him, that
to describe our loss and to express how much we will miss him
is just not possible. As our family's guiding light, he will
truly shine in our hearts and memories forever. At Benjamin's
